New in-store shopping guidelines

First off, everyone at Via Ciclante would like to thank you for your continued support. Over the past three months we have faced challenging and uncertain times but you continued to support Via Ciclante and the cycling community. We are forever grateful for your commitment to Via Ciclante and cycling as a lifestyle.

Effective May 19, 2020 the Province of Ontario has made some changes to the restrictions retailers in Ontario must deal with. This means you, our valued customer, now have more freedom to shop in-store and begin to socialize with your fellow cycling enthusiasts. Great news!

At Via Ciclante we value the safety and health of our staff and customers above all else. As we continue to expand the available shopping experience to be more convenient to you, we will also be implementing a few measures to ensure everyone’s health and safety remains paramount. We would also like to remind you of our robust online shopping experience available by visiting our website to take advantage of our still reduced shipping minimum of $60.00 CDN within Canada.

• In order to protect the health safety of our staff and all of our customers we kindly ask that you refrain from visiting the store if you are not feeling well with flu like symptoms.
